In a day of high drama at Phillip Island, Marquez was controversially disqualified after he failed to pit at the required time.

A pit-board error by the powerhouse Honda team meant the Spaniard made his compulsory pit-stop to change bikes one lap too late.

He was running second at the time and pushing for the lead when the black flag came out.

Marquez's 43-point buffer at the top of the championship standings has been cut to 18 with just two rounds remaining.

"I am disappointed - the plan with the team it was a big mistake," Marquez said.

"We thought it was possible to go in the lap 10 but it is a big confusion.

"I just followed what the team said in the pit wall.

"When they say go in, I go in – but it was too late."

Safety concerns meant the MotoGP was reduced from 27 laps to 19 with the provision of a mandatory bike change.

Tyre supplier Bridgestone said before the race that they were unable to guarantee the safety of their rear slick tyres beyond 10 laps because of the newly resurfaced track.

It was the first time in MotoGP history that such a ruling has been made when the conditions were dry.

Marquez said the shocking mistake would fuel the team's fire as the championship moves to Japan.

"We thought it was possible to go in in that lap," he said.

"We will learn from that and forget about it.

"Now we look to Japan."

The 20-year-old maintained he was still in the box to win the world title.

"The championship is very long," he said.

"We know we're still in a good way, so we will keep like that."

Marquez shared a few bumps with Lorezno  during the race when the younger Spaniard re-joined the field from pit lane.

"I think it was impossible to avoid a collision," Lorenzo said.
